I didn’t know that! We might bet you will be saying that on conclusion of this report as, for some reason, USB 3.2 Gen 2 20Gb/s is being overlooked by the storage industry. The industry standard for all that is consumer portable storage speeds has settled at USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gb/s (1GB/s transfer speed) while the ‘Feast Du Jour’ …

Up real early this morning to write about the Phison E18 NVMe SSD Controller as there have been more than a few readers that have reminded us more than a few times that the E18 is coming over the past few months.

It needs to be said. Having a Gen 4 SSD in hand with speeds of 5GB/s in a 4TB capacity is rather special. Many might never find need for such speed and capacity, but as a media professional, this is heaven. My camera of choice is a Canon EOS R5 and I only shoot RAW which means each shot is …

We were so impressed we just had to do it again. Admittedly, we were floored by the Cobalt 1700 speeds while maintaining anything but what could be considered the …
Read More »Sabrent Rocket Pro Portable SSD Review (4TB)
Perhaps the one thing that Sabrent has done best in the SSD industry is to fill the void that many would not. They struck hard on entry with capacities that many might not chance, jumping into QLC well ahead of the curve, and then marketing PCIe 4.0 performance at what appeared to be the perfect time. And if you are …
